Key players in the Oil and Gas industry rely on Viatran because our products are proven, our technical expertise is deep and our service team is laser focused on helping our customers grow their business.

Viatran pressure transmitters play a major role in maintaining safety on an oil rig. In order to monitor product, process and hydraulic pressures, our transmitters reliably trigger safety shut-downs when hazardous conditions are detected. Viatran addresses specific pressure transmitter applications on oil rigs, including measuring ballast tank levels and hydraulic pressure on jack-up drilling rigs, as well as pressures on platform flow lines, additive metering pumps, subsea injection valves and well cleanouts.
